Calcitonin: Effect on protein synthesis in different rat tissues

Experientia volume 35, pages 1525–1526 (1979)Cite this article

Summary

Protein synthesis was inhibited in the pancreas whereas it was enhanced in the kidney and intestine (jejunumileum) after a single injection of porcine calcitonin (20 MRC units/kg b.wt). The incorporation of [3H]leucine into total protein in the brain, heart, liver and stomach did not change after the hormone treatment.
